Oops ..
What you fail to release is that the moment a state succeeded they would create a border, and immigration would then be required. If Montana succedded every crackpot in the country would be headed there, that would be a bunch I would want to avoid, talk about tin foil hats, they couldn’t import enough tin foil into Montana to satisfy the demand ...
Now if you just change “release” to “realize”, you’re good. Unless I missed something. ;-)
